Back-to-school shopping is super fun, but you know what else I love? Back-to-school hairstyles for my daughter.

If you have a little girl, then make back to school even more exciting by giving her a chance to show off a fun new hairstyle! Most of these only look complicated, by the way. Trust me, these are some of the easier DIY back-to-school projects!

2. High Looped Ponytail

Pull all of the hair into a high ponytail, then secure a second elastic about two inches down. Gently pull the hair through so it puffs just a bit between the two elastics. Repeat for the length of the ponytail, leaving at least an inch or two at the bottom.

I can seriously complete this back-to-school hairstyle in under 5 minutes!

4. Criss-Cross Ponytails

5. Looped pigtails

Start at the front and bring two even sections of hair into elastics. Pull a bit more hair — kind of like you would for a French braid — into the pigtails, and add a second set of elastics. Keep it up until you have equal lengths all the way down.

Want a really cute back-to-school hairstyle? Make the hair elastics different colors so your kiddo can wear a rainbow!

8. Double French Braid Pony

This is one of those back-to-school hairstyles that works well with short or long hair. And it’s even cuter if it’s a bit messy, in my opinion!

Divide the hair into two sections and begin French braiding. Rather than angling the braid straight down, angle it toward the nape of the neck. Once there tie it off with a clear elastic, then do the other side. Tie them together with a larger elastic or a cute bow.

15. Ribbon Twist

Divide a ponytail into two even sections and twist all the way down. Secure with a clear elastic.

Tie a long ribbon securely over the top elastic, then work the ribbon over and under one side of the twist, making sure to pull the ribbon through each time. When you get to the bottom, tie the ribbon around the clear elastic. Tie a bow around the top in matching ribbon and you have a great DIY for back-to-school!.

16. Braid Wrapped Bubble Ponytail

This is similar to the high looped ponytail, but it’s a little more work. Wrap two braids around a ponytail. Separate the ponytail into three sections and pull the edges of each section to create a fuller effect.
